The Cophen campaign was conducted by Alexander the Great in the Kabul Valley between May 327 BC and March 326 BC. It was conducted against the Aspasioi, the Guraeans, and the Assakenoi tribes in the Kunar Valley of Afghanistan, and Panjkora (Dir) and Swat Valleys in what is now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. The campaign's goal was to secure the Macedonian line of communications so that the Macedonian army could proceed into India properly.
